It's been bugging me, I used to think most American accents sounded either 'sterotypically southern' or stereotypically LA sounding kardashian, or New York sounding Joey from friends. BUT there are so many! I've been watching Riverdale, and bettys accent was bugging me as it was so noticeably different to the others. Now I know it's this accent after checking she is from Ohio! Sounds literally like her!
Just my opinion as i went to school in Ohio and live in California now, other than calling soda 'pop', Midwestern accent is basically neutral like hers.
What part of Ohio? I'm from the Toledo area, and your dialect sounds just like people here. The specific dialect is called Northern Cities Vowel Shift by the way.
I know this is from nine years ago but, just wanted to add my Midwestern two-cents. The second question is talking about roly-poly’s (some people might call them pill bugs?), and I’ve always pronounced it New OR-lens, rather than New Or-LEANS.
the North you here it not in the twin cities. I don't think we have a accent.im from the twin cities and don't really here it like I would if I went to Duluth.
That's a really nice accent to have! :) I was listening to the BBC's film review program, and they mentioned the 'Midwest accent' when Henry Cavill was talking about Superman. I didn't really know what that meant, so it's helpful to hear an example! In Wales I think we would answer some of the questions the same way but 2) would be 'a woodlouse', 4) 'trainers', 7) 'Nan' + 'Grandad', and 8) 'a trolley'.
Aur Hedd she speaks the way people in California do. I didn't really think it was an accent. But I guess if you're surrounded by it. You'll never know the difference
Erica Hoffman Thank you for the quick reply , and that's pretty fun I guess haha. Wonder at what age your accent fully takes shape (I'm guessing it's a little older than 8yo ;p) Have a good one
This is NOT about accent - it is about regional vocabulary. I was looking for examples of the pitch accent - inherited from the pitch accent in Swedish and Norweigian.
That sounds like here in California. I always thought Midwest accent had words like ya'll. And get. Like get'er Dunn. And words like fixing. Get'n ready to fix a plate. I guess I was wrong.
Gopher Cheese eh, depends, if your a suburb/out of town born person than you probably dont sound like her. I dont here an MN accent, maybe an Ohio accent tho.
Erica Hoffman the "southern" accent doesn't really exist it sounds exactly like yours well at least i do and my area but we say a couple words different
Erica Hoffman i know, i didnt mean to sound rude i was just saying how i say it i should have typed it diffrently saying how i say it and that diffrent people say diferent things.
this video is the most 2012 thing i’ve ever seen with the britney spears in the background 😭
rolly polly duh lol
pillbug
A “Slater”
Potato bug
No potato bug..
Everything you said is what I say Hahaha. Midwest.
Yes someone from the Midwest that actually sounds midwestern 👏
But I say pecan pe-can
THAT was a proper Midwest accent. Oh, and when it's raining while the sun is shining is a "sun shower".
From Missouri and I never realized how much I say “Ope!”. It’s slang for oops I guess. We are strange folks😂
From Ohio, and I say "ope" constantly! Always have!

LOL!
she gives me soft vibes - like someone i would feel incredibly safe around
Spent my early days in Minnesota and this is how I sound lol
However I pronounce it as pee-can, crayon as cran, and New Orleans as New Orlins
It honestly depends for me, I usually pronounce it more cray-an than full cray-on or just cran.
Here watching this for an audition and i’m love how this video screams 2012 💓

"Ope no, I missed one" yeah that's ohio no?

@Zylon Tex I'm from Ohio and unless you're talking to an older Ohioan, I don't think we have as much of an Upper Midwest accent as Minnesotans do.
Julia Nixon yeah, you're right. I think Minnesotans have a more distinct accent 👌🏻
ohio is straight general american. And MN mostly is too.
Minnesotan accents are more like Canadian accents
@@krobson17 being from north Dakota. If you heard a Canadian talk you wouldn't say that. 😀
the North you here it not in the twin cities. I don't think we have a accent.im from the twin cities and don't really here it like I would if I went to Duluth.
The bug is called a dung beetle
I live in the suburbs a bit southwest of Chicago. This is pretty much exactly how I sound and I have the same answers to the questions.
issa rolly polly

her: both
me: boff
When the rain falls and the sun is shining people say the devil is beating his wife.
Really? That sounds a bit extreme lol
Right! I thought so too... That's just what I've always been told (:
+Erica Hoffman pretty classic satan, don't you think
Oh, I thought it was a rainbow... lol

I don't get it? Ohio\Minnesota? they're not even close, so which one am I listening to here? :P

Lol i lived in Ohio for the first 8 years of my life then Minnesota for 15 years. I'm not even sure why I titled it with both states lol

Have a good one
Zylon Tex haha maybe so! I get emails when people comment, so I'm quick! Lol you have a good one yourself! :)
They're both int the Midwest
TheEllaBellaShow That they are. Thanks haha, though ohio seems kind of more all-American typical and MN seems like it'd be weirder somehow
Love Britney playing!

I call it raining.........with the sun shinning
Almost us we're Okies.

Youse guys, pop, sunshower.
Ohio is not Midwest until you get to Chicago.
It's a pill bug
I say “puh-cahn”
I have a mid west accent from Michigan btw
Rollie pollie
Im from the south and don't enunciate as well as you do, I run my words together

Gopher Cheese lol all of those things you mentioned are more in the South 😁

Sounds close to the Canadian accent !
I’m from Cleveland. Her accent is absolutely Cleveland 100%.
@@johndingman7266 yeah I'm not denying that lol just commenting on their similarity
When I say "sometimes" I sound like "simetimes" 😂
oh yea Ohio
I think the comment you really want is this one "you are very pretty"
I am from minnesota and she said aunt(ont) and pecan (pe-cun)wrong and i got the same for questions
I say "aunt" the way I do because of living in Ohio LOL :)
Erica Hoffman i know, i didnt mean to sound rude i was just saying how i say it i should have typed it diffrently saying how i say it and that diffrent people say diferent things.
Isabella Sanchez you're fine. I didn't think you sounded rude ☺
Isabella Sanchez i rewatched it and she said "ANT" not ONT. I know because I saw ONT
Nice...
No it’s a pill bug.
Anyone else say channel changer instead of remote?
It does more than just change channels so remote sounds better to me. My step siblings used to call it a clicker and that bugged me so much.
